Good morning! Thanks Tracy for inviting me over to guest blog! For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Sabrina Darby, a romance author, mostly historical and erotic historical. (You can find me online at SabrinaDarby.com or Twitter.com/SabrinaDarby)
My first book has been out for almost a year but my husband hasn’t read it yet (At least its published form). The other day, he picked up a copy, read four pages and then said it reminded him of the movie Sabrina. It took me a few seconds to figure out what he meant, because I would never have linked my erotic regency novellas with Audrey Hepburn hiding in a tree.
Then I asked, ”because she’s watching him?” Yep.
Now, voyeurism is loosely defined as gaining sexual pleasure from watching someone else do sexual things. I think Sabrina watching David kiss another of his many women might have given her some sexual pleasure even if it isn’t stated outright.
Voyeurism always sounds so illicit, but many a romance starts from observation. For example, check out this snippet featuring Richard Chamberlain in The Slipper and the Rose, an amazing musical retelling of Cinderella.
Watch how Cinderella scopes out the Prince’s manly display of athleticism ;-)
Do you have a favorite moment of voyeurism in a romance novel or movie?
